Mission Statement

To promote and maintain an inclusive national Awards Scheme for all licensed premises across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, building on Good Practice and leading to an enhanced customer experience.

Best Bar None raises standards and rewards excellence for those venues that attain the Award standard. This is delivered at a local level by active partnerships between the industry, local authorities and police.

The Awards are based on core national standards with local flexibility to ensure they address local needs.

Assessment of licensed premises will be carried out by trained, impartial assessors, who will ensure consistency of approach. The assessment criteria will be clear and straight forward, with a minimum of bureaucracy with constructive feedback provided to all entrants.
